Brunton’s New Camping-Friendly Flip-N-Drip Percolator

There’s no shame in bringing a few amenities from home when you go camping, and if you happen to enjoy a fresh cup of brew every morning then the Brunton Flip-N-Drip will save you from having to use the instant stuff. It’s about the size of a standard thermos, but works a bit differently.

To make a fresh cup of coffee you first boil some water in the Flip-N-Drip’s base, then you attach the “brew chamber” filled with your grounds of choice and then just flip the whole thing over to start the percolation process which takes about 10-12 minutes. When it’s done, you just remove the 16 oz. double-walled insulated mug and enjoy! While it’s not listed on the Brunton website just yet, the Flip-N-Drip should be available soon for about $45.

For goodness sake, enough with the compromise and second-best. Buy a Handpresso – a truly portable, true espresso machine. I got one just before going to England from Australia to see family and used it on the plane over, all the time whilst there and on the plane back home. SUPERB!
